what would you recommend

Third for the recess in the stud. Little bit of extra work, but so worth it. In a large shower, you need somewhere to store toiletries.
And it's win win. Custard will love it and you won't have to move soil.

I would love to have a recess (niche) next to the toilet with three sea shells on it, only a certain few people would get the joke.

when using shower trays, with or without upstands?

 

[mutley racers]

i like demolition man. Great film. Recess hey, you guys seem to like them. Also, someone suggested putting the pipework for shower behind the stud. But if i did do this, the shower would not be in the middle of the tray?

Also, can I just gripfil battens to the floor and ceiling with the studs or do i need proper fixings?

That depends on weather you feel it's a god idea to have access to the trap at a later date should any blockage issues arise. Unless the customer states otherwise its riser kit every time.

Not quite sure what you mean by shower in the middle of the tray. It's the norm to bring the hot n cold feeds up through the stud work, spaced and clipped correctly to line up with the valve, then your elbows out through the pb or hardibacker dependant on weather it's a recessed or exposed valve.

Re batons, if it a wood floor I would just use long wood screws, job done.

The stud wall will be on the right hand side of the shower tray where soil pipe runs. So the width of shower tray. I need them really to be at the centre at the back where bath is now.

So just use normal tray with riser kit. No upstand yea

 

[mutley racers]

It's in flats so probably concrete floors

 

[Plum Bob 66]

In that case sleeve anchors bottom, screw top batten to the two end pieces and grip fill the top edge that meets the ceiling.

No mate, you will need an upstand unless the waste pipework is already sunk under the floor, otherwise you won't get the fall.

 

[Plum Bob 66]

I take it you got the job then ?

 

[mutley racers]

Hehe. I did indeed

 

[Plum Bob 66]

Cool now you have to figure out how to do it, right ?

Like I said in my pm, nay bother

Ps, cheap vanity unit in Wickes £89 notes not bad looking neither
